Veolia RO Membranes

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved salts, minerals, and other impurities from water. The RO membrane acts as a barrier to allow water to pass through while blocking most of the contaminants.

RO membranes are made of thin film composite (TFC) material, which consists of several layers. The top layer is a thin polyamide film, which serves as the primary barrier to contaminants. This layer is then supported by a thicker polysulfone layer for strength and durability.

RO membranes are widely used in a variety of applications, including industrial wastewater treatment, seawater desalination, and drinking water purification. They are a highly effective method for producing high-quality water with low levels of impurities. 

RO membranes come in different sizes and configurations, depending on the specific application. Understanding the different types of RO membranes and their applications is essential for selecting the appropriate membrane for a particular water treatment system.
